If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

–> For every $1 added to the economy, we’ve added more than $3 in debt

–> added $5.23 trillion in debt vs. $1.68 trillion to the economy

–> 50% increase in debt vs. 12% increase in economic output

Total Public Debt:

$10,626T [Jan 20, 2009]

$15,856T [Jun 30, 2012]

–> $5.23 trillion increase in debt

As Stephen says...this is "sustainability?" How in the hell can Democrats justify this kind of spending? Not terribly long ago, Mr. Obama said it was unpatriotic of George Bush to add $4 Trillion dollars to the debt...over 8 years.

WTF do you call adding almost $6 trillion dollars to the debt in just over 3 years?
